My strawberry leaves have black discolorations? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This is my first time growing strawberries, and one set of plants has been thriving, but this set has these black discolorations and seems to be stunted. No discoloration on the bottom of the leaves, and some of the ones with these spots have folded inward and feel papery. What's going on and how can I treat this? Both plant sets receive basically the same care.

Hard to tell if it's a fungal problem or if it's just bruising.

I'd like to think it's just bruising, but that might just be me not wanting to find out it's fungal. I'm in socal, and we did have lots of windy days this last month so I'd say it's reasonable. I did also notice that it's only on some leaves, and there are 1 or 2 plants that don't seem to be affected.

Edit: On second look, I see what is very obviously fungal infection on my other set of strawberries. I'm gonna look into fungal treatments.

I also hope for bruising.
